r -4- <br /> Board of Selectmens Mtg. <br /> 1 nutes of August 31 1987 <br /> r <br /> With reference to Article 21 off-set receipts, the Executive <br /> Secretary said that it involves coming up with a budget , submitting <br /> it to the State Department of Revenue and giving what your receipts <br /> are and appropriating an amount of money for expenses.
